Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost'

[chrissifer]

I run my cacti server on a Raspberry Pi and it;'s been running great for the last couple of days.

I had to reboot my Pi today for a configuration change (not related to Cacti or MySql etc) Since rebooting, my graphs haven;t been updating with data.

Im able to login to the cacti interface fine, so ran the poller.php manually via the command line and i'm now getting this error:

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 383

This has certainly confused me as the database user in config.php is 'cacti' - Are there any other config files anywhere?

The fact that I can login to the web interface proves that the info in config.php is correct, so why won't the poller.php connect?

You using the syslog plugin per chance?

No, I wasn't.

Flummoxed me that much that I decided to go for a re-install instead.

All is fine with the world again
